Pros

-Professional office -Compared to other wirehouses, the base salary is pretty good for a CSA -Extra compensation from FA's (a plus when your FA is a high producer) -Good benefits and 401k

Cons

-Old technology (this will change after the integration) -Legacy SB branches are now part of a complex of branches in a region which means we hardly see our manager -Declining morale due to the merger -Dealing more with client complaints due to increasing account fees, household threshold changes ($1million for fees to be waived) -Compliance crazy

Pros

Great benefits - twenty days of vacation. 360 degree review process is beneficial for self improvement. Lots of online training courses available for self education.

Cons

Sr. Management can be arrogant and rude. This filters down as acceptable behavior to the remaining staff. It can be very challenging to work across groups or divisions with this attitude.
